Sohan Halwa - A Sweet Dish of Ajmer, Rajasthan

Each region has its own special food item that is identified with the town or city.
While trying the various delicacies dont miss out the Sohan Halwa of Ajmer, Rajasthan.

Native Rajasthanis have a unique style of coupling the sweet dishes with the main
(bread/roti/puri) course instead of or in addition to vegetables or meat. Halwa
Puri for example makes a famous combination.

Here again we find a great use of pulses, legumes, diary products etc and a unique
style of rustling up the desserts. A great use of clarified butter (ghee) characterizes
the sweets.

These are over cooked and often chashni (caramel) based. Halwas and Chakkis are
a must on most festive occasion.
